Classes & Education

Let's get prepared.

Cass Health offers a number of birth and baby care classes to help you and your family to be as prepared as possible for your new adventure.

Prenatal Classes

We provide one-on-one prenatal classes that we tailor to you. Whether it’s your first child or your fifth, our OB nurses want to make sure all of your questions are answered so that you feel prepared and confident for labor, delivery, and caring for your newborn! Breastfeeding and Labor/Delivery/Postpartum classes are available as well. We’ll work with you to schedule your private class for a time that works with your schedule.

Siblings Class

The Siblings Class is a free class that's held quarterly at Cass Health. This free, one-hour class is geared toward children between the ages of 2 and older to attend with their parents.The class includes hands-on activities like swaddling, feeding, diapering, and holding a newborn. All kids who participate will receive a special certificate and their very own teddy bear. Reservations are required for the Siblings Class.

Mama Meetups
Our OB Navigator Maddy Peppers, RN is hosting Mama Meetups every Monday from 10:00 AM to Noon, and from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on the last Monday of each month.
This is a come-as-you-are group. Our meetups are judgment-free zones where you can talk, learn, laugh, and spend time with other new moms going through the same phase of life.
During this time you can:
  • Learn about postpartum care
  • Check baby’s weight
  • Get feeding advice & help
  • Talk with a nurse about your questions
  • Spend time with other moms & babies
No appointments or reservations needed. Meetups will be held in the OB Navigator office in the Atlantic Medical Center.
